Macron’s and Olaf Scholz’s of Europe get the bulk of the blame for the pitiable state the continent is in. No one blames the ladies. The former German Chancellor Angela Merkel turned Europe into an illegal Immigrants’ paradise and Ursula, also from Germany, is turning the continent into a ticking time bomb.
The European Union was often characterized by its complex bureaucratic regulations and institutional structure. But it began experiencing transformative changes under the leadership of European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen. From a somewhat tedious entity, the EU steered towards becoming a significant geopolitical force, a departure from its foundational principles as a peace project.

Von der Leyen, who has faced criticism for her authoritative leadership style and aristocratic origins, is advocating for a more assertive EU that now leans towards undemocratic governance models. This inclination is evident in the centralization of power in Brussels, particularly highlighted by the controversial procedure through which the EU Commission President is appointed—a process that was notably demonstrated by her own selection in 2019.
Central to von der Leyen’s agenda is the ambition to redefine the EU’s global role. Moving beyond its historic mission focused on peace and cooperation, the EU under her guidance is adopting a more militarized posture. This dark pivot is underscored by the EU’s decision to finance lethal military aid to Ukraine, signaling a significant shift in the Union’s external engagement policies.
The facilitation of this militarization is achieved through the European Peace Facility (EPF), an off-budget mechanism created to fund military operations outside the EU’s borders. A peace facility created to fund military operations, does it remind anyone of the Orwellian Ministry of Peace, which presided over all aspects of war? Anyway, the EPF operates in a manner that circumvents the constraints imposed by EU treaties, which traditionally prohibit the allocation of the Union’s budget to activities with military implications. This development marks a pivotal moment in the EU’s evolution, suggesting a future in which it plays an increasingly prominent role on the global stage, albeit through means that stir debate about its commitment to democratic processes and peace-oriented values.

But Ursula is not done with all the peace she has spread. She just unveiled a new move that dwarfs all her previous evils.
The European Union (EU) is set to start a new defense industry strategy, aiming to recalibrate the bloc’s defense sector for heightened military readiness. It’s goal is to strengthen Europe’s ability to produce its own weapons and military equipment. The strategy at least on paper, centers around working together. EU countries would buy weapons jointly, which would save money and streamline the process. They’d also collaborate on research and development to create a stronger European defense technology base. The EU would co-finance these joint efforts, basically helping to pay the bill for both buying and developing military equipment.
This basically takes away the independence of individual countries’ militaries. This also creates big defense cartels producing weapons for an entire continent.
This strategy, inspired by the collaborative procurement approach employed during the Covid-19 vaccine distribution, raises concerns regarding transparency and the potential for a more streamlined yet less accountable process in arms transactions. And of course, this underscores a broader shift towards militarization within the EU, amidst debates over its implications for transparency and accountability.
Simultaneously, European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen is endeavoring to reinvigorate the EU’s expansion process, notably by recognizing Ukraine and Moldova as candidate countries. However, this move has attracted criticism, with detractors labeling it as “virtue signaling” due to the protracted and intricate nature of the accession process, questioning the feasibility and sincerity behind such gestures.

Furthermore, von der Leyen advocates for the adoption of “qualified majority voting” in lieu of unanimity for foreign policy decisions, a proposal met with resistance from those apprehensive about its potential to dilute national sovereignty and disrupt EU unity. This proposed shift aims to streamline decision-making processes but stirs concerns about the balance between efficiency and the respect for individual member states’ autonomy.
We called Ursula dangerous , but Putin doesn’t consider Ursula dangerous. He considers her dumb.
